Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Hi all! I’m Julie and I blog about kids, food, and life at Teaching Good Eaters. While most of my posts at my own blog are focused in getting kids to eat good food and bringing some peace to your mealtimes, my most popular blog post by far, was about making really easy and really inexpensive homemade gifts for kids.

I love Christmas time. The lights, the music…especially the food. From Thanksgiving until the end of the year, it seems like our days and nights are filled with all kinds of yummy Christmas treats. I have been working on the menu for our annual Christmas party, our Christmas morning breakfast and our Christmas dinner. While searching, I also put together a collection of 50 delicious Christmas recipes in you case you are searching too!

Christmas decorating is pretty much my favorite thing to do in our home each and every year. It takes me at least a week to get everything out and I am always looking to add new things to our existing items. Of course, I am also looking to keep our spending in check so I find myself making things a lot more than I used to. Plus, I am pushing myself to work with new craft tools or ones that I’ve been pretty unsuccessful with in the past. I knew I wanted to add some more Christmas words to our decor so I created this easy mod podge Christmas decoration one afternoon.

Every potluck I go to during the holiday season is missing one thing: savory breads or muffins. We have a lot of chili, tons of soups or pastas and more than our share of desserts. But, I like a little bread with my soup or chili so I am always left missing the one thing that just isn’t there. For our office holiday potluck and my own Christmas party, I set out to remedy that problem by baking cayenne bacon chile cornbread mini muffins.

During the holiday season, I am always looking for gift ideas that are homemade and don’t cost a lot of money. With so many teachers and other people to give small gifts too, a homemade gift is a great option because it is thoughtful but easier to keep the costs under control. This year, I decided to try my hand at making dried fruit potpourri to give as gifts.

Hi Just Us Four readers, my name is Alanna and I blog at Alanna George | The Craft Nest. My website is a craft site for families and my posts center around kid’s craft ideas, sewing projects, handmade gifts and advent activities that are family friendly. I would love for you to stop by and visit my site. I have a lot going on my website this holiday season. Come for a visit and I am sure you can find something to create with your kids or a gift you can make for someone special!
I love to help my kids create handmade gifts to give at the holidays. This project is just right for the younger set and perfect to gift to an Aunt or Uncle. It’s simple and doesn’t take many supplies, plus it is cute enough to hang on the tree. I often see necklaces that feature peas in a pod that use the number of peas for how many children you have. I thought it would be fun to make a pea in a pod ornament like that too. So let’s get started!

Christmas crafting is in full swing here now that the calendar has flipped over to December. I do a little bit of stuff during November but really don’t start with the “heavy” crafting until December. There is something about really enjoying Thanksgiving as its own holiday that I love. Of course, not actually crafting in November didn’t stop me from searching around for all kinds of inspiration to have for when I started my projects for the year. To kick off the first week of December, I am sharing 25 awesome Christmas crafts with you today!
Hello Just Us Four readers, I am so happy to be here and guest posting! My name is Ciara and I run a blog called Teaspoon of Life. I am one of 13 siblings, a mommy to a rambunctious little girl, and wife to a wonderful husband. In my spare time, besides blogging and taking care of my little princess, I love to cook/create recipes, and occasionally do some crafts.
This is only my third Christmas with my husband and we don’t have many decoration yet. We agreed on our first Christmas together that we would only get a few decoration each year (so we aren’t spending all our money at once). Also even more important, so we have something special for each year. This year I am in a very creative mood and decided to make something!
I had a thought in my head of a door decoration and by making it myself it makes it even more special! I decided to make a Christmas wreath because they can get so expensive at the stores sometimes!

I love white candles. Well, I love all candles actually but white candles are just so versatile {and inexpensive} so I keep them around all the time for little projects. We don’t typically light the candles because our three year old would be certain to go try and play with them or knock them over. So, instead, we end up decorating the candles to decorate WITH the candles. I have a few five minute candle decorations to share with you today that use candles and a few other items you most likely already have on hand. They are perfect for when you want to decorate with candles but don’t really plan to light the candles.
